How do you relax after a day of #writing? Share your thoughts in the comments! (Seriously, I need some ideas to keep me from staying up late continuing on #outline details) #writers #writersky #writerslife #sendhelp #ohgod #thewordswontstop #whatstheoppositeofwritersblock

People have the #right to believe lies. When they exercise that right they abandon the privilege to be involved in important decisions. #truth #society #politics #religion #reason #misinformation #disinformation #nationalsecuroty #public

What “bonkers” #idea do you absolutely #believe in? Share your thoughts in the comments. For me, I believe that #employee-owned #businesses are the best way forward. #Capitalism is simply a form of #slavery: the master thinks they deserve the profits of the #workers.

What #story have you carried in your heart? Let me know in the comments! For me, #thehogfather by #terrypratchett changed my life. It helped me understand what #truth, while important, is complicated. #books #reader #booksky #readercommunity #stories #discworld

Anyone else tickled when capitalists complain about the effects of capitalism?

My #urbanfantasy #wip is shaping up nicely, so I thought I would share a scene from the #story. Stephen seeks the Throne of God and will hold an #angel hostage to do so. Will his gambit work? #supernatural #magic #darkhumor #demons open.substack.com/pub/thegreym...

Hey #writers, how many scenes do you usually expect to put into a #novel? #writing #story #storycraft #writingtechnique #author

I’m working on an #urbanfantasy about an occultist, a #demon, and an #angel upsetting the hierarchy of #heaven and #hell just to get an audience with #god. Here’s the opening scene of the #wip: open.substack.com/pub/thegreym...

The #stories we believe are reflections of our #soul. This is equal parts inspiring and terrifying. #narrative #spirituality #psychology #society

“So how did you suddenly improve your cooking game?” Stephen asked the demon. Adaam smirked. “I realized I can make it sinful,” he replied, pointing to the cheesecake. “So you’re the demon of dessert now,” Angel smirked, “oh how the mighty have fallen…” #WIP #trentonrpennington

There’s something intriguing about writing #gritty #urban #fantasy. Normally I write #wizards and #medieval #fantasy. This new project though, it’s interesting to have so much jadedness come through. Working on backstories now, will weave them together later. #wip #demons&angels

Hey #readers! I have a #wip about #demons and #angels. Give this scene a read and share your thoughts! #booksky #fantasy #urbanfantasy #dark #story #writerscommunity #readerscommunity open.substack.com/pub/thegreym...

Biblically accurate #angels, anyone? Apparently the creatures we know as #seraphim were conceived by the ancient Semitic people as feathered serpents. #myth #mythology #snakes #biblehistory #history #writing #fantasy #stories

#stories and #storytellers have power to legitimize and delegitimize authority. The power of story is inherently about legitimacy. What is right, what is wrong, who is and is not the rightful leader. #story #storycraft #magic #narrative #power #art #literature #society Control your story.

@kaleidotrope.bsky.social dropping some great #writingtips. #writing and #storytelling are arts, and so there are techniques that may be used, modified, or rejected in favor of other techniques. Learn #writingtechniques, yes, and have fun exercising your artistic authority while writing.

#writingtip Facebook and Instagram are hostile to external linking. This makes it hard to market your writing. Learning the basics of SEO and digital marketing is more empowering than spending time on Meta advertising platforms. #writing #writerscommunity #writersky #bookmarketing

#writingtip just write. Put words on paper or screen, write what comes to mind, and after you get it out look for any possible structure. Some people do better with this method, and for writing articles and essays this is a great method. #writing #writerscommunity #writersky #writers

#writingtip: A believable story matters more than an accurate story. Not all details have to be 100% true-to-life. Write for believability. #writers #writersky #writerscommunity #storycraft #literature #writing

What's the difference between reading a novel and dating a MAGA? With the novel you get a climax. #humor #writershumor #bookhumor #writer #funny #joke
